Hey, I remember this guy! Don't know what I said in the PM's, maybe you could send em to jog my memory? I think what I found coolest about you was that you seemed to be on your way to starting an honest to goodness screenwriting career when you were last with us, how'd that pan out?

Wrote hundreds upon hundreds of hours of bad TV so I could afford dumb things like a complete criterion collection, drifted away from writing movies, got married, got back into writing movies, had a script produced last year (indie, still in post), and I have two cats, one of which is anxiety ridden and doesn't want to poop in the box all the time.

completely normal question about whatever happened to ... a person .. with the username ... Xixax. whatever happened to the Xixax irl character. if you do or don't know the story you can go ahead ahead and make up a story about what happened to Xixax, who it seems would've been helpful during the david lynch book thing, you remember that, the marketing botch of yesteryear, anyway Xixax told a person:

But dropping in with a shamless plug out of nowhere with a self-made post that's full of hype is just a turn off, that's all.

I think if you'd have come in and said "Hey, I checked out the board back in the PTA days" or "I just found this place" or whatever... Then continued on to tell us a little about yourself, your background, and the movie you made, we'd not only have received it, but embraced it and looked forward to checking it out ourselves.

It's like a salesman walking into wedding reception and standing on the tables yelling "buy from me! buy from me!" You'd get tossed out! If that same salesman brought a gift for the newlyweds, shook some hands, introduced himself and later handed out a few business cards, he'd accomplish a lot more.

Not much to it. He started this board after the old ptanderson.com board got shuttered, was only ever an occasional presence (more of a behind-the-scenes guy for a long time), and ultimately drifted off over the horizon like Mary Poppins.
